About this title

Synopsis

Publisher's statement: "When Thomas Henry Huxley died a century ago, he was already recognized as having effectively transformed much of the world of English science. To a significant extent we owe our respect for science and science education to his efforts to legitimate the field. For this collection of centenary essays, Alan P. Barr commissioned fourteen original pieces that assess from a contemporary perspective Huxley's personality, his marriage, his scientific accomplishments, his disputes with other thinkers of his day, his expression of values, and his importance to the history of science and education. Contributors to this volume include Peter J. Bowler, Mario A. di Gregorio, David Knight, John R. Reed, and Michael Ruse. Their essays make valuable additions to Huxley studies, challenging readers to rethink the relationship between science and philosophy."
